第三千四百零九章 上元落雪丹

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, calming his agitated mood. Arguing with a treasure was not worth it, especially when Moon's words had some merit.

Although Xiao Tao was sharp-tongued, she hadn't truly harmed him. Why should he take her to task here?

She might as well have let off a fart; the remark, though crude, made sense.

Seeing no harm in it, Lin Xuan felt much better.

Moon saw this and sighed with relief. She quickly changed the subject: "Xiao Tao, why did you come here so excitedly? Did you find any clues to the treasure I asked you to look for?"

For cultivators, a life-bound treasure was indeed very close to them. However, Moon's feelings towards Lin Xuan were more than just that; they ran deeper and were not easily understood by common sense. Xiao Tao, being straightforward, didn't pick up on Miss Moon's underlying displeasure but instead looked excited.

"Miss, as you commanded, I couldn’t ignore it. Indeed, I found a recipe for a medicinal pill that can heal this big fool’s injuries."

So, he was still called the "big fool"?

But after all these experiences, Lin Xuan knew Xiao Tao's sharp tongue well enough. Since he had decided not to take offense, he could easily brush off her insult.

However, Miss Moon's expression showed genuine displeasure: "Xiao Tao, I know you speak your mind but shouldn’t always go against Master. He hasn’t wronged you; why must you keep pushing him? If this continues, I will truly be angry."

Miss Moon’s face was serious, though she didn't scold Xiao Tao directly. Clearly, she had lost her temper.

As Xiao Tao's life-bound treasure, she understood Miss Moon well. Seeing the expression on Miss Moon's face, she knew that she was genuinely upset. Despite her haughty demeanor towards Lin Xuan, she sincerely protected Miss Moon.

After all these years, Miss Moon never got angry at her. Xiao Tao’s small face showed a hint of panic as she lowered her gaze: "Alright, Miss, don’t be angry. I won’t… won’t oppose this Lin fellow anymore."

Lin Xuan felt relieved; the nickname was better than being called an idiot.

As a man, he needed to show his magnanimity and not let a mere treasure get under his skin.

"Alright, Moon, since Xiao Tao knows her mistake, we shouldn't punish her."

Moon obediently followed Lin Xuan's instructions. Xiao Tao fumed but couldn’t react as she had just promised Miss Moon. Her defeated expression made Lin Xuan feel better.

But thinking about it, he felt a bit bored for putting the pressure on his life-bound treasure.

Of course, in all of existence, there was only one such characterful treasure. If his Nine Palaces Momentary Sword ever attained sentience and took on an essence like Xiao Tao’s, what would that be like?

Cough, thinking too far ahead. His primordial energy hadn’t recovered yet; the immediate task was to replenish his life-bound true essence or risk a significant loss in strength.

Lin Xuan's thoughts turned to what he should do next. Moon seemed to share similar thoughts as they had a telepathic connection.

As Lin Xuan’s thoughts shifted, Moon’s voice entered his ears: "Xiao Tao, you said you found a medicinal recipe that can replenish Master’s lost primordial energy?"

"Indeed, I wouldn’t joke about such matters."

Though Xiao Tao was sharp-tongued, she was reliable. As she spoke, her jade hand flicked, and a green eye cylinder appeared.

The green and emerald hue exuded an ancient aura, indicating its great age.

Moon took it over, releasing her divine awareness.

Her expression first showed excitement but then turned gloomy as her emotions fluctuated wildly.

"What’s the matter?"

Lin Xuan was curious. He took the jade cylinder from Moon and released his divine awareness without hesitation.

Instantly, dark ink-like energy revealed ancient runes.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan had a broad knowledge of texts; he recognized these ancient阴司界的文字.

His expression changed as well.

Xiao Tao hadn’t exaggerated. The "Upper Yuan Snowfall Pill" recorded in the cylinder could indeed replenish his lost primordial energy from this battle.

If luck was on his side, it might even push him to a higher realm.

This wasn’t idle talk; the Upper Yuan Snowfall Pill originated from the True Immortal Realm and had been seized by the Arrogant King of Asuras. It possessed unparalleled power.

Otherwise, such an item would be hard to find in either the Spirit Realm or the阴司界.

However, while the effects were unmatched, the difficulty of its preparation was unimaginable.

Otherwise, gathering the ingredients would have been easy.

In the past, only the Arrogant King of Asuras had that capability.

Now, with circumstances changed, many things had vanished from the Three Realms. Even for a Loose Immortal or Demon King, it was hard to gather all the necessary ingredients.

Even if luck favored him and he reached this point, obtaining the Upper Yuan Snowfall Pill would still be incredibly difficult.

Divine materials were not so easily refined.

The Arrogant Asura was prodigiously talented. Not only did his cultivation rival that of a True Immortal, but his alchemy skills had also reached an unparalleled level.

Even legendary alchemists couldn’t compare to her.

Her alchemy prowess in the Three Realms was unmatched.

Yet, even she wasn’t sure about refining the Upper Yuan Snowfall Pill; success depended on luck.

Now, with circumstances changed, though Moon was a reincarnation of the Arrogant Asura King, her strength and alchemy skills couldn’t match hers.

Therefore, while the Upper Yuan Snowfall Pill could save Lin Xuan, it was merely wishful thinking and impossible to achieve in reality.

"Xiao Tao, if I remember correctly, before my rebirth, I left many fallbacks, including storing treasures from the Three Realms for emergencies. While the Upper Yuan Snowfall Pill is rare, I believe most of its ingredients can be gathered."

Despite the obvious difficulties, Moon was unwilling to give up. Her concern for Lin Xuan surpassed her own; even with a small chance, she wouldn’t abandon him.
